We’re humbled to announce that the Jimmy Nelson Foundation has donated three captivating books to The Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, AVL: Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. These books promise to bring a touch of joy and inspiration to patients and visitors alike within the institute’s walls.
In the patient rooms and family areas of the hospital, individuals can now embark on a journey beyond the confines of the hospital, thanks to the mesmerizing photography of Jimmy Nelson. Nelson’s lens transports readers to distant lands and cultures, offering a respite from the challenges of illness and treatment.
"We are grateful to the Jimmy Nelson Foundation for their thoughtful donation. These books provide not only a visual escape but also serve as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of our world. They bring comfort and solace to our patients and their families during their time with us. The Jimmy Nelson Foundation makes a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals facing difficult circumstances and enriching the healing environment for all who walk through its doors." - Marloes van Dongen: Medical oncologist and clinical pharmacologist at AVL.
